How Healthy Are Your Sleep Patterns?

The symptoms of insufficient sleep are recognizable: You struggle to stay awake, you feel worn down, and you start to make small mistakes, such missing a question you knew the answer to on an exam or missing a traffic sign. Aside from injuries, most short-term effects of not getting adequate sleep are temporary, but larger problems persist when sleep debt is chronic.

Chronic sleep disruption or poor sleep health is defined as untreated sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring, short sleep, or a schedule that varies by more than one or two hours. It’s associated with an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, cancer and automobile accidents, and can cause problems with attention and academic performance.

The six signs:

- You find it difficult to wake up in the morning.
- You’re falling asleep during the day.
- You feel fatigued, or you experience daytime tiredness and physical discomfort or mental fog.
- Your attention is impaired, or you have less impulse control.
- You notice changes in mood, such as irritability or a low threshold to deal with life’s frustrations.
- You’re snoring at night.

I had these six signs, actually fell asleep at my desk one day.

Turns out, I had pneumonia . I'd been walking around with it for weeks.  The day I finally went to the doctor, I was down to 40% oxygen...sitting in the waiting room, thinking I was playing clash of clans...with no iPad. Lol!

Actually it wasn't very funny. Woke up intubated.  God saved me.

Yes, He did.  I’m glad you’re okay.

I’m not getting the best sleep right now myself.  I have the worst cold of my life so far.
